What's new at Presbyterian Urban Ministries
A GRACE RENEWAL STORY
At 78, Rose was homeless and crying in a San Diego church. She wished she could return to prison where she felt safe. A San Francisco rights group had taken up her case, recognizing her as a victim of domestic abuse and securing her release after serving 31 years for killing her husband. Rose is now alone in the world; her only child—who she was trying to protect when her crime occurred—committed suicide two years into Rose’s sentence. Church leaders reached out to Presbyterian Urban Ministries, which provided Rose with a broad range of help, beginning with prayer and listening to her needs. Thanks to PUM's ongoing support, Rose sleeps safely in her own apartment.
